**Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once, but every month on sponsor shout out days we double up. So we’ll be back in a few hours with Sherry’s Dude Get On That Already challenge.

It’s time for our usual monthly show of gratitude to our sponsors. You know, the people who make the other 30+ posts possible, and generally keep us feeling all happy go lucky (hey, St. Patrick’s Day is nearly upon us, right?). So we decided to highlight a few green/luck/clover related items from our sponsors this month (none of which have been gifted to us – here’s our no-swag policy). And if you’re looking for a way to save some loot, check out the discounts listed at the bottom of this post. And happy early Saint Paddy’s Day to ya!

I don’t know if you guys like hoops and yoyo but this video about home improvement is really funny (please watch together and tell me what you think..it is 2.5 minutes long, also Clara can watch it too.)

From a regular reader in Ireland, it’s lovely to see mention of our national day of celebration! However….we kinda don’t love St Patrick being shortened to St. Patty. It never, ever happens here. This is because Patty is a woman’s name and Paddy (Patrick) was a man!

Another regular reader from Ireland here….was going to post the same thing as Paula but notice it’s already changed :-) Yay!
Love the blog by the way, I check it out everyday and can’t wait to some day have my own house to “DIY”.

so.. i recently signed up with Pinterest (Sherry made me curious) and just now i stumbled upon this: http://pinterest.com/pin/118149190194339035/ and it feels so like something Sherry would appreciate, so i thought i’d share it with you guys. :)

So this has nothing to do with today’s post. Last night, as bizarre as it sounds, I had a dream Sherry debuted a new hairdo- think cropped pixie cut a la Sienna Miller circa 2006(ish) and it looked AMAZING!

hey guys, long time reader here, love your blog. Very disappointed though! Just went to (the) Tile Shop here in virginia beach we are actually purchasing the same tile for our kitchen. Customer service had no idea how to process your YHL10 promo, going so far as to call the Richmond and Corp. numbers. No dice. They said they were going to have to work on getting it taken off your site. I purchased the tile anyway and had them note on my account that if they got updated they would take it off. I showed them your site and everything; again..no dice. Can you contact your sponsorship folks and give the readers an update? Thanks, Tasha

That is crazy! We’ll email them. They send us a new code that should always be “active” (they set the code and the terms, but they have been a longtime sponsor and we have been offering that code, and hearing from folks who have used it, for years).

Hey Tasha, here’s an update for ya from The Tile Shop: the code YHL10 should always work when you order online or purchase from their stores (they even sent an email around to all of their stores to remind people of this) so hopefully that helps!!
